Saturday Night Live returned with a cold open that mocked Virginia "Ginni" Thomas as "the Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court."
The episode, hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael, began with a parody of a Fox and Friends segment, with Mikey Day as co-host Brian Kilmeade telling his colleagues that downloading former president Donald Trump's TRUTH social app has caused his phone to get "very, very hot."
"Like over 140 degrees," he said. "It burned my son actually. Anyway, TRUTH Social—five stars."

Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas, played by Kenan Thompson and Kate McKinnon, were then brought on, with Day's Kilmeade noting they were "handling their own little controversy this week."
Thompson's Thomas was asked if he was feeling OK after his recent hospital stay.
"I guess we'll see," he said, after a chuckle.
Day's Kilmeade then references text messages that Ginni Thomas sent to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, urging him to challenge the results of the 2020 election.
"Ginni, the left is currently losing their minds over a couple of completely normal texts you sent to your pal Mark Meadows on January 6, is that right?" he asked.
"It sure is," McKinnon's Ginni Thomas replied.
"And now they want the honorable justice to recuse himself," Alex Moffat, as Steve Doocy, added. "I mean, you're allowed to speak your mind."
McKinnon's Ginni Thomas replied: "Yes, and I don't want any trouble. I take my duty as the Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court very seriously.
"All I want is a tidal wave of biblical vengeance to wash away the Biden crime family all the way to Gitmo and then we release the Kraken."

Agreed and they are still living off of those memories. The Obama and now Biden administrations were/are a target rich environment for that show but instead they have decided to go in the opposite direction. If they showed any modicum of fairness and humor with good writers I’d probably still be watching.
Repubs are dumb, what cutting edge comedy.
The formula the unfunny communists at SNL seem to have hit on is to impersonate the people they hate (i.e., the people standing in way of the radical Left that is hellbent on ruining this country) and depict them saying outrageous and insulting things about themselves, in the not unrealistic hope that the millennial ninnies watching will believe them
Remember when Tina Fey as Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house!” in response to a question about foreign policy on the show? A significant number American voters believed (and many still believe) Palin literally said that.
Conservatives don’t have to do that - we have an actual brain-addled pedophile as POTUS right now and a brain-dead floozy as VPOTUs (and another as Speaker) saying outrageous things that make them look like corrupt idiots. All the media has to do is play the tape.
But they won’t and we know why.
SNL’s audience is made of of very drunk or very high college Snowflakes and princesses. They have to watch it so they’ll be ready for their “perfeser’s extra credit” pop quiz on Monday.
“It’s amazing that NBC still produces it”
I once heard Lorne Michaels state that as long as he has the say snl will ALWAYS be on the air regardless of ratings.
Why can’t republicans use the race card and question why democrats want to kick off the only black man on the Supreme Court? I know we hate the race card but so what. We should use it. They would.
A comedian, producer and actor.
Sounds like a real rip-snorter....
That was the Arsenio Hall Show. Which (and who) is even more forgotten today.
So do some here on FR. If you wait long enough they’ll eventually show their faces.
Liberals who support social activists as judges have no tolerance for the conservative wife of one.
